Niagara Falls Full-Day Tour Options

When making your reservation, you'll have the choice between the two options:

Complete tour

Begin your day by boarding a comfortable air-conditioned coach from Times Square and sit back and enjoy the landscape of North America while you head towards the Canada-United States border.

Once you get to the Great Lakes at around 11 am, you’ll be led by your professional English-speaking guide on a visit of the Niagara Falls. Gaze at one of the most famous waterfalls in the world from several observation decks, learn about the geological origin of this natural phenomenon, find out what movies have been filmed here and how high the falls stand, among many other interesting facts while you enjoy your guided tour. For a complete experience of this magnificent natural scene, you'll then enjoy the following activities:

Between December and April: experience the Journey Behind the Falls on the Canadian side, a thrilling 90 minute tour that allows visitors to explore tunnels behind the waterfalls and see the cascades from a new perspective.

Between May and October: enjoy a cruise beneath the falls. See the falls from below on board the famous Maid of the Mist boat.

Both of these activities are subject to weather conditions on the day.

After you've made the most of seeing the impressive Niagara Falls, you'll have free time to eat. Following your meal, you'll head back to New York City, where you'll arrive around 11:30 pm.

Transport only

Having been driven to Niagara Falls from New York, you'll have the full day free to explore the incredible natural beauty of the area at your own pace. In the afternoon, you'll meet back with the group for your return bus journey to Manhattan.

Visa for Canada

If you book to go on the Complete tour during the winter months, you will cross over to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. Please bear in mind that visitors from certain countries may require a visa to enter Canada.

If you are a British or Irish citizen, you don’t need a visa, but you'll need to show your passport. Even if you don't need to apply for a visa, you need to apply for an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) which takes several days to validate.

If you don't have a valid visa or eTA for Canada, you'll have free time to spend on the American side instead.

Niagara Falls Tour by Air

If you do not want to spend so many hours on a coach, you can also get to Niagara Falls by plane from New York. Check out our activity: Niagara Falls Day Trip by Air.
